Picking a rooster to breed my NN to!

Thank you
I didn’t know that. Hopefully I will get at least one NN chick!

Your girl looks Nn, which means she has one naked geme and one not, hence the large feather clump amd not a bare neck. This means half the chicks will be Nn like her and half will be nn like dad theoretically

Not likely half and half. In theory maybe 2 out of 8. Could be more, the law of averages and such.

My rooster to the NN chicks parents, were NN but he hatched regular. So he does have the NN some where in there. All his eggs hatched, so he had good genes, some were just regular chicks.

Naked neck is a dominant gene, if he carried it you would know. If he hatched regular but both his parents had naked necks they were probably both heterozygous, and produced him, a chicken without a naked neck. None of his offspring will get a naked neck gene from him. If he were to produce any naked neck chicks he would have to be crossed to a naked neck female, and the naked neck would be from the mother, not him.

So there’s a good chance I will get NN chicks?

I’m not too familiar with naked neck birds, but I think she’s heterozygous, meaning when crossed to any non-naked neck bird, 50% of the chicks will have naked necks.

Thank you!!! I’m excited to see how all this turns out!
